Quote #1
To reach my brother's room, you actually have to leave the house, which is exactly the way he likes it. (1.1.54)
Jesse's a chicken-or-egg situation: Did he isolate himself because his parents left him alone too much, or did they pull away because he isolated himself?
Quote #2
"[My parents] don't really pay attention to me, except when they need my blood or something." (1.2.17)
Dang, some kids' parents don't pay attention to them unless they need the trash taken out or the lawn mowed. This is pretty extreme, and makes Anna feel even more objectified, like a mass of organs instead of a daughter, or even a person.
Quote #3
This is when I realize that Anna has already left the table, and more importantly, that nobody noticed. (1.4.52)
This is from Brian's point of view. At least he noticed, right? Even if he was a little late… that's more than we can say for Sara, who is focused completely on Kate right now.
